I have a question: Focal Points occur in the past, right? What's the oldest Focal Pont you would trust? Even if it were 50 bars ago would you still trust it as long as the guesstimated target price would provide a win? I'm used to trading signals in ...

If this were my thread not only would I have the right, FF admin would beg me to. That's the purpose of the Ignore feature. Without it an OP would have no way to manage a thread and keep it on track when a disrupter came along.

@KnowItAll -- and how are you going to test this? You're going to search through charts and charts to find an example where it doesn't hold? That doesn't meet the criterium of a valid test. I'd say it's more like 5 years and 1000 trades on a live ...

This is excellent -- we're on the same page. This is your baby so you get to define the terminology. And, yes, example charts are the best. And they are even more best when they include an arrow or two so I know where to look...

Dude -- recall I gave you my sources. I told you I was about to be banned because DrDave and tommydoginti hate me and knew that @ohitsyou was a double alias. I emphasized the urgency and you said you'd like to continue the original PlanetX thread. ...

We are using terminology a bit differently. In my world, a signal means this is where you Enter/Exit. I think in your world a signal is a clue to be applied along with some other considerations before entering / exiting a trade. Is that a fair ...

@parisboy -- I've learned to tread carefully when questioning or disagreeing with @bishopdotun -- he is the most brilliant man I've ever met. However, I agree with most of your post. I think you've hit the nail on the head. @IKnowBestAlways -- I ...

I wouldn't be so sure. Keep in mind the SMA lines are backshifted and do not take into account the most recent bars. If the market changes then things could get ugly. I don't know -- again, this came straight to you from my laptop. This is why I ...

You're right. But the "relaxed" mode is my invention and is not part of the original theory or algorithm. It's never been tested or traded. At this point it just looks pretty. The original algorithm as presented by @parisboy was developed by rocket ...

Thanks for pretending to be interested. The only thing I'm prepared to add about MM is that MM is YUUUUGE. The statement I'm about to make is an exaggeration, but I should be forgiven because it's to make a point. Also, I almost exclusively trade ...

That depends -- define "awake"...

Focal Points are not signals or alerts -- that is not how they are used. They are **historical** meeting points of 3 or more SMAs. When the proper setup occurs (see @parisboy's charts) then the **historical** FPs can be used to guesstimate a target ...

old firetrucker??? I've never worked for the fire department. I work behind the counter selling burgers and fries, and on the side post pictures of other people's account in public forums in the hope to drum up support for my new trading academy.

Yes, sir -- you certainly know it all. And I thought your alias was intended to be kind of satirical, but it's not -- you truly are the Best Trader Ever. My apologies... Sir -- do you know the definition of pompous? What about pompous ass?

@moodybot -- you have no idea how much it pains me to give you a "like", but this post definitely deserves it. And congrats on your multiple prop accounts... And, if you don't mind, I'd like to mention a couple more benefits: (1) There are very few ...

You've never worked in a professional software environment, have you? You know how to identify the best developers? They are lazy. They avoid rewriting code that already exists. I can't say how many times a release was delayed due to a crashing bug ...
